Rethinking ‘Did Not Attend’

A two minute video animation has been produced by the Nottingham City Safeguarding Children Partnership in conjunction with NHS Nottingham City CCG and Nottingham City Council, with the aim of encouraging practitioners to think differently about the established term ‘did not attend’ and consider it within a framework of ‘was not brought.’

The animation encourages practitioners to consider the impact of not being brought on the child’s treatment and potential safeguarding risks.

The animation is a follow-on from the Rethinking ‘Did Not Attend’ video which acted as a powerful reminder that children do not take themselves to appointments and for practitioners to reflect on the impact of missed appointments on a child’s wellbeing.

Missing Appointments Matter
NHS Nottingham City CCG has commissioned a video animation aimed at citizens to encourage them to attend medical appointments, and to take children and adults they care for to their appointments.  The animation is aimed at raising awareness about the consequences of missing appointments and to ensure that children and adults get the medical care that they need.

Consent – it’s as simple as tea

There Was A Boy

Nottingham City Council has produced There Was A Boy in collaboration with 15 other local authorities across the Midlands for the annual Foster Care Fortnight campaign (14-27 May 2018).

The storyline shows a vulnerable teenager’s life in two parallel situations – similar to the 1998 film Sliding Doors – one where he is fostered and one where he is not. The short film shows what a positive influence foster carer can be and how they have the power to make a huge difference to a young person’s life chances and outlook.

You can find out more about fostering with the City Council at Fostering Nottingham or by calling 0115 876 3335. You can also find the fostering team on Facebook by searching for @fosteringnottingham.

Kayleigh’s Love Story

Leicestershire Police has made a film called Kayleigh’s Love Story as a warning to young people, both girls and boys, about the dangers of speaking to people they don’t know online.

With the support of Kayleigh’s family, Leicestershire Police have made the film about aspects of the last two weeks of her life.  The film highlights just how quick and easy it can be for children to be groomed online without them or those around them knowing it is happening. Its purpose is to protect children now and in the future and to stop another family from losing a child in this way.

Please note that the film contains a warning - If it was shown in at a cinema, it would carry a 15 certificate.
